Anyone know where to find the partNames of planes? Is it universal across all planes? Or is it unique between every plane, tank, boat. Im not sure if its these nodes in the node list when looking at the aircraft’s skeleton.

I think this node list shows what mission editor wants as “partName”.
We have parts with _dm ending (damage model) and without it. I dont know which one or if both will be accepted there.
These names are universal, here you can see the rules for creating them: 3D models for aircraft | War Thunder Wiki

-
- – if the rudders are made of two unaligned parts
-
** – if there is only one flap positioned in the center (for example, on Yakovlev aircraft)
-
*** – if flaps have several parts on each wing
-
**** – all objects related to the landing gear, including landing gear doors
# is replaced by natural numbers starting from 1. So we will have successive names like radiator1, radiator2, radiator3 etc. Hardpoints are named successively from left (left wing) to right. It is important to follow naming for pylons, because they are automatically hidden if the plane does not carry any payload.
